10/22/24 • 74 min

Welcome back to All Things Whiskey Podcast! On this episode Hosts Mike Outcalt and Devin Mitchell sit down with special guest Nico Meyer the co-founder of Por Lo Bueno Mezcal.
Yes, we are a Whiskey podcast, but we always love exploring new expressions and were thoroughly impressed with the entire lineup of Por Lo Bueno Mezcals. If you're a whiskey enthusiast and particularly someone who enjoys Tequila and/or Peated Scotch, then it is absolute worthwhile exploring Mezcal and learning about the wonderful world of agave spirits.
On this episode we learn a TON about the Por Lo Bueno process to making their Mezcals, the story behind the brand, and get to sample a wide variety of their expressions including:

Espadín: 6-8 year old agave plants, a classic entry level mezcal
Cuixe: 10-12 year old agave plants, bright flavors and a gin drinker's favorite
Cirial: 10-12 year old agave plants, bright savory and vegetal notes
Tobalá: 10-12 year old agave plants, a bourbon drinker's favorite
Pechuga: the only bottle in the country, suspended in the still with botanicals and meats
Tepextate: 20-30 year old agave plants, simply an outstanding mezcal

Be sure to check out Po Lo Bueno (https://www.porlobueno.com/) and raise a glass for all good things!
Cheers - keep drinkin' tasty whiskies and mezcals!

Join us for a great interview with Owner John Lupori and Part-Owner, Brand Ambassador, and Advisory Board Member Anne Hutchison . We discuss how they created their unique bottle (shaped like a woman) which was inspired by Greek and Roman sculptures to be a work of art (and it is!) and to celebrate the American Woman, Americana, women in whiskey, and women empowerment. We dive into their whiskey lineup including a 92 proof core product, a cask strength offering, and a special release rye all while discussing where the whiskey comes from, where its aged, their unique mash bill, and proprietary barrel charring process. American Woman Spirits Company also believes in giving back and is donating 1% of gross profits to woman's associations and has begun working with NAWA: the National Association of Women Artists.
